Jim Strickland reports. Homebuyers frustrated with shoddy construction and ineffective regulations are demanding change. They were at the capital today to begin to push for new legislation based on the Lemon Law that protects car buyers... They want a new lemon law on new homes. Jeannette Martin likes the idea...
